Deoxys is now ripping off Mewtwo by landing ontop of some pole overlooking a city. What won't this lame PKMN ripoff? Ash really shoulda knocked girlyboys block off with a nice punch but peace loving May stopped him. Wahhh! Music scene showing off all PKMN including spoiler one was fun. Erm the professor named Deoxys or just knew its name magically?

10:30 - 11:00 = Crap.

Rayquaza being shown as nothing but a mindless raging beast sucks. I thought it was a more intelligent creature. Deoxys can make copies of itself and capture people and PKMN? Yawn! Man poor Metagross. Such a cool and powerful POKéMON getting regulated to chair status. -.-; Minun gets the shaft again (like it did in Colo) by being taken outta the picture.

Brock to hotdogs: "Gotta catch 'em all!" ahurrhahaurrr ... NOT FUNNY OR CLEVER YOU DIE NOW BROCK. Tory's friend is a Deoxys! GEE WHAT A SURPRISE NOT!! Meanwhile Rayquaza is still mindlessly bashing its head against the citys forcefield.

Rebecca: "Metagross use Reflect instead of your uber power!"

11:00 - 11:30 - Trash.

Now Metagross has been reduced to being a psychic windmill. That's wonderful. The second Deoxys is now making Ash and Tory fly via Psychic thus ripping off Celebi. And finally Rayquaza is made out to be the badguy. How friggin lame. Couldn't 4Kids have been nice and cut that annoying blocky "warning evacuate" part? >_<

Now the movies turned around entirely from double Deoxys vs Rayquaza to Ash and Tory vs blocks. Just end it already! btw Why did D, D & R get owned by blocks anyway? That's pretty damn pathetic. And of course with the "happy" ending of the Deoxys' returning to space.

So far there are a lot of things I like about this movie:
~Showing Pokemon in their natural habitats (like the Spheal line in the beginning)
~Showing a completely different part of the Pokemon world (the arctic area where the prologue-y thing takes place. That's not in Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn...)
~The moving floor bit early on. Reminded me of the floors with arrows on them in the games
~how awesome the battle tower looks
~Munchlax. Actually, I think it was the music that made me like it, reminded me of old cartoons (in a good way)
~Rayquaza and Deoxys duking it out...
~great animation, for the most part
~Possibly the most enjoyable Pokemon movie so far

Things I didn't like:
~What was up with Rayquaza? It seemed so mindless until Deoxys protected it...
~Bad CGI at times... especially those Deoxys clones
~Team Rocket is yet again reduced to nothing but meaningless cameos...

Well It's official. The movie has ended and all I gotta say is...it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Sure there were the cuts and changes, but some stuff wasn't that bad. In fact, as much as I love the song "L-O-V-E-L-Y" I really liked the english replacement of "This side of Paradise". Really, the dub was pretty good for once...not as great as the sixth movie by any means, but still good. The only thing I noticed most were the cuts.

All the scenes before the commerical breaks were cut short, so this means some things never got shown (aka. Shouta rubbing his head after running into Metagross, some random blocky, etc.) But then there were actually scenes that were cut. Personally, these were the only officially cut scenes I could find:

- Since my version of the movie doesn't include the little "World of Pokemon!" Deal before it, I don't know if anything was cut or added. However, I have a gut feeling something was indeed cut and added. Unless I'm mistaken, the two scenes with Satoshi riding on Flygon from the 6th movie and Satoshi and Kasumi racing in the 5th were not in the original. Like I said, I don't know this for a fact since I didn't see the Japanese version of it, but I'm almost 100% sure those weren't there. I believe they added them just as an excuse to have a "Satoshi x Kasumi" moment though. -_-;

- After Hitomi says the aurora is gone, the scene cuts off. Originally the scene went on where Satoshi and Pikachu attempt to "help" Tooi.

- This one doesn't surprise me the least, but the scene of Musashi rubbing her butt in blocky's face was cut.

Like I said earlier, the dub wasn't as great as Jiraachi's, but it certainly wasn't bad. I think I'll wait for the DVD before I make any official statement though.

BTW, does anyone know what Ryuu's dub name was? I believe it was either Ray or Rayth, but I couldn't understand them.

Music is still the same, that's good. The LOVELY Song has been replaced, by a pretty good song I must admit. It cut off druing the middle of the credits, so probably they will have the whole credits on the DVD. When DD started, they said it had been modified fro TV, so hopefully, some of the cuts won't be taken off the DVD.

Deoxys was not shadowed in at the beginning, but Deoxys still got his arm blown off and stuff. Rayquaza is pronounced, Ray-Kway-Za. Deoxys is pronounced, DE-Ox-IS. Yuko keeps her name. Rundo is now Lund. Tooi is Tory. He has the Mokuba voice, but not that bad.

The"World of Pokemon" was the same,cept with a diffrent Narrator then the show.

Rayquaza and Deoxys seemed to keep thier voice,as well as Plusle and Minum, and someof the Pokemon in the intro. Can't tell from metagross and Masquerin.

Shouta is Sid, and Ryou is Rayfe? Ryou had a cool voiceIMO, Sid had a Surfer accent, but it was okay. Audrey and Catherine kept thier names and had good voices. Hitomi was Rebecca, and souded okay.

The battlen and everything was kept the same and all. Brock MENTIONED PROFESSOR IVY!

The part with Jessie and the robot was cut out, non-surprisingly. So was the lunch scene also? Hopefully they will have it on the DVD, cause later May mentions this scene and how Munchlax, which had a goodvoice by the way, ate their food. No other noticalble cuts, but Dogasu will hopefully have a compariosn soon.

Thats a constant throughout the entire Anime...no need to bash the movie on that fact

You're right since there's plenty of other things to bash the movie for. And I know they get in wrong in the anime but for the movies - they could at least try to be accurate. After-all one big point of the movies is to showcase new POKéMON.

- Since my version of the movie doesn't include the little "World of Pokemon!" Deal before it, I don't know if anything was cut or added. However, I have a gut feeling something was indeed cut and added.

The inclusion of past movie scenes was in the original.

Also cut was the scene where Ash and Co. try to get Tory acquainted with the wild Pokemon at the picnic table.

Blaziken was cooooool!!!!
He was so heroric, everything about the situation was so interesting. An intellegnet plan!!! Not one of those "you can't catch me" strategies that often fall in these types of events. Too many CGI images, aren't that real. They went a little overboard on the introduction.
I got thinking are the Deoxys pair male and female? That certainly might have been the case here....

This movie was one of the best, animated-wise, I have ever seen in the Pokémon dubbed episodes. The plot was kind of weak, jumping from one thing to the other, but I really think that this was good. The embarassment of Ash at the Battle Tower - an Orange League champion losing to a Blaziken and Blastoise with a Pikachu? If Ash were smart, he could have chosen Corphish or Swellow, as this takes place during Japan's time.

So, this movie has major spoilers, but still pretty good, nonetheless. The plot should've been better, but, I like it.

Also cut was the scene where Ash and Co. try to get Tory acquainted with the wild Pokemon at the picnic table.

Yeah, I metnioned that. But like I said, they mentioned later in the dub, so maybe it will be left in the DVD, referring to the "Never Before Seen" stuff. I really hope that the full credits will be in the DVD,it seems that way as they cut off in the middle of it.

BTW, did I mention that Torkoal sounded really weird when it first came out. Also, was the Corphish scaring Tory scene left in, I think I miss it when I was in the B-Room.
